Electrokinesis is the ability to create and manipulate electrical currents and produce lightning. This is presumed to be a common power among witches, as it is elemental magic.
History[]
This power has been displayed a few times on the show. This is when Faye created a storm magically, before the Circle was bound. This storm produced heavy winds and rain, and generated fierce lightning, which she called down onto Chance Harbor. The lightning came very close to striking Diana Meade, before the spell was stopped by Cassie Blake. Faye and Cassie, before the circle was bound, showed the ability to make the lights flicker by will and due to their emotions.
Jake Armstrong showed this power during the mid-season finally to make the lights explode on the witch hunters to provide a distraction.
This power is thought to be Faye Chamberlain's predominant power, but this in uncertain, as there is dispute that her element may be "metal", as mentioned in the Meade Family Book of Shadows passage for binding a Circle.
